Commissioner of Pensions: Washington D. C. Dear Sir:-
Will you please send me any infor - mation you may have concerning Ebenezer Fox of Vermont who was living in Washington Vt. in 1832 and later moved to New York state. The State Librarian of Connecticut gives me the

number of the pension (I think) S 13066.

Bank of Burlington April 1 st 1837-
Sir -
I enclose the voucher of Eben Fox, and ask your direction whether I shall pay it, or not. The circumstances in relation to his pension are these. In September last his pension voucher was presented here for payment, and payment was refused on the supposition that the Pensioner resided in Orange County, the voucher purporting to have been made out there - like the one Enclosed. The voucher rejected here in September last was subsequently paid by the agent at Windsor, but he learning that the pensioner resided in this agency, afterwards notified the pensioner that he must thenceforward apply at Burlington and not at Windsor for payment.
The place of the pensioners residence (Northfield) is in Washington County - near the line of Orange County, and it seems he prefers going into Orange County to have his papers executed. Brookfield in Orange County, the residence of Judge Parish being but a short distance from Northfield.
From the roll of this agency it appears that a years pension is due the pensioner, while in fact there is only six months pension due, he having received at Windsor the six months stipend due him on the 4 th of September last.

I also enclose the vouchers of the children of John Knight. They were presented here for payment soon after they were executed, but at that time the name of John Knight was not upon my roll.
Since then I found upon the roll of the the Branch Bank which has been handed over to me by the former agent, the name of John Knight inscribed thereon, from which it appears that he has never been paid. I wish to know if these vouchers are satisfactory and if I shall pay the balance due the children of the pnsr. upon those vouchers.
I am very respectfully Your ob t Serv t .
